Fermented Giardiniera.

[timothy]

Normally I pickle this but wanted to try my new fermentation starter kit.
I made enough for 3 quarts but only had 2 airlock lids and weights.
3rd one is in the fridge getting pickled.
Should take a week according to JOY.

I would reccommend a location away from sunlight.
My fermentation occurs in pure darkness........it is for the best.
Looks good, good luck.

It's in my basement storage room.

isn't it a cut veggies and cook for 4 minutes in a 1:1 water vinegar ratio and then place in jar and fridge it?

curious what the JOY recipe shows.

It's fermenting, like sauerkraut, kimchi..
I'd post the method /recipe but it's copyrighted.

This is a fresh version, totally different from the jarred brands you get at a beef joint.

The Deli's in Bridgeport make this and it has a unique flavor, brighter, with more crunch.

interesting. i've only ever had the vinegar preserved version.

my sour pickles are natural ferment in 3.3% brine with additions for flavor (garlic, bay leaves and pickling spices).

i kinda like the bite of the vinegar version. makes my eyes cross at times.

 

[timothy]

First time trying it so fingers crossed it comes out good.

 

[ChuckO]

Fermented is one of my favorite words

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

That's something I definitely want to get into. Looks like it'll be awesome!

Joy also has a half sour pickle recipe under fermenting.
3.5% brine. Garlic, dill, peppercorns and optional grape leaves to prevent softening.

 

[timothy]

Checked the taste today.
Not too sour but still have 5 days to go.
Pickled one needs another day but taste is great.

Bay leaves have the same crunch effect as grape leaves. I use them in my sour pickles. I just fridged a batch yesterday. I’ll sample one Sunday to confirm they’re good.

Looking forward to seeing your results.

They also have one for a fermented Louisiana style hot sauce ( like tabasco )
I'll see what my Son has in his garden after these are done.

Ok so the pickled one can curl your toes but the fermented one is rather tame.( in a good way )
I expected a sour kraut face but this is good.
Need to up the hot peppers next time but fermented compared to pickled I'll take the fermented ..
